Update about blog

The joy of waking to this view each morning is just so wonderful. Even if the camera sees all the distortions from the window screen, I easily ignore them. Many of these green trees stand near or by the Animas River which flows through the town.

Colorful azaleas

 

A huge multiple-bushes combined is located between my apartment and my next door neighbor.




And these are the bushes in front of my apartment.


Today's quote:

But I also say this: that light
is an invitation
to happiness,
and that happiness,

when it's done right,
is a kind of holiness,
palpable and redemptive.

- Mary Oliver, Poppies

    Hello, Barbara

    The azaleas look so pretty, we have a small one that has this similar color. Great quote! Have a happy day!

      There were many more blooms in the past, before the eager landscape crew shaved back everything.

    ...they sure grow well in your neck of the woods!

      North Carolina has lots of good soil, rain, and warm weather (when it's not cold!)

    Both this wonderful burst of colour and the Mary Oliver quote are a great way to start my day.

    Wow! Someday I'll get to photograph the rhododendrons that bloom here. No azaleas around here.

    Beautiful! They evidently like where they are.

      These seem to be doing better on the shady side (facing north) than the ones on the sunny side which get much more heat.

      I am reminded of bouganvillas which have similar bright colors.

    I love Mary Oliver, and the color of those azaleas. (one of my favorites)
